Shure MXA710-2FT RS-232 / IP control commands

Summary

Ceiling/wall microphone array with Dante networked audio. Control via TCP/IP on port 2202 using ASCII command strings in angle-bracket format. Supports gain, mute, routing, LED status, metering, and preset recall.

Transport

protocols:
  - tcp
addressing:
  port: 2202
auth:
  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source

Traits

- queryable  # inferred from GET/REP command pairs
- levelable  # inferred from AUDIO_GAIN_HI_RES, AUDIO_GAIN_POSTGATE
- routable   # inferred from channel mute, automixer, beam control

Safety

interlocks: []
<!-- UNRESOLVED: no safety warnings or interlock procedures in source -->

Notes

Connection: TCP/IP on port 2202. Telnet negotiation must be disabled or passive on client. First command via PuTTY may return error — resend to resolve.

Channel assignments differ by model:

MXA710-2FT: Dante outputs 1-4, automixer output 5, post-gate channels 1-4
MXA710-4FT: Dante outputs 1-8, automixer output 9, post-gate channels 1-8

Audio gain (AUDIO_GAIN_HI_RES) range: 0-1400 representing -110.0 dB to 30.0 dB, scaled as (value * 10) + 1100.

Audio level metering values 000-060 represent -60 to 0 dBFS.

REBOOT command does not send acknowledgement.
